A member asked:
What can it mean when your period continues for more than 7 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prolonged menses: At age 45, the estrogen levels produced by the ovary make the lining much thicker, and consequently, there is more volume of bleeding with a period, and extended to six or seven days. Pregnancies can also cause bleeding, especially in the tubes, so check to see by getting a serum HCG test from your healthcare provider. Long term, if negative, think about low dose bcp to lower estrogen levels.
